aleSantlria Gazette.
The GAZETTE is now the Oldest paper in
the State, and with few exceptions the old
est in the country, and its usefulness has
been demonstrated aud appreciated during
the EIGHTY SEVEN YEARS ofits existence. In
its columns has always been found mirror
of passing events, and the careful ehroni-
cling of the history of what is going on in the
world has ever been its aim. 1t is always
welcomed in the household, while in the
counting room and workshop ii has become
invaluable.
The GAZETTE has better facilities for OBJ
tanning news than any paper outside Of the
national capital. Situated as it is SO close
to the great centre of news, it enjoys daily
the benefit of the Associated Press dis
patches from every part ofthe world hence
its patrons can read from its columns in the
evening what has transpired that day III
every portion of our own domain as yell as
from every part OF the habilahie globe
Consequently it is an every day occurrence
for the GAZETTE to publish kilograms from
the various European capitals twelve and
fifteen hours earlier than the morning pa
pers.
Another feature that serves to make the
GAZETTE great desideratun with mer'
chants is its afternoon market reports from
New York, Baltimore, Chicago aud other
centres.
Correspondence from Washington, Rich
mond and every section of the State, is pub
lished regularly, and all events of interest
occurring within the bounds of the Com
monwealth are to be found in the columns
of the GAZETTE.
The local department furnishes full and
complete history of everything that occurs
in and near the city, and this feature will,
as ever, receive careful attention.
The .GAzErTE's circulation is steadily in
creasing, especially among people who con
suit its advertising columns before purchss
ing. That this is self-evident may be infer
red from the fact that large country edi
tion-nearly as large as the daily--is sent
all over this section OF country three tines
a week, and is read by thousands, most of
whom send hers or to contiguous cities 10
make purchases. The advantages of ad-
vertising in the GAZETTE are, therefore, ap-
parent.

The sale of the New Orleans division
of the Texas and Pacific to General Wis
tar, who purchased the other divisions of
the road, lnsures the operation of the
entire system under one management,
which is certainly for the good Of the
bond and stockholders. y 1t is generally
conceded now that Governor Brown will
be made PRECEDENT, because he is the best
man for the place, and because he has
brought the road to high standard while
receiver. THE GAZETTE was the first
paper in Texas to advocate Governor
Browns election to the position, having
seen what great work he had done in
upbuilding the road.
Mr.. Lloyd, connected with the Mar
shall, Paris and North western, was in
Fort Worth yesterday in consultation
with Captain NJ. B. Lloyd OF the First
National Bank in regard to placing
boGds of the company with g.
view Of extending the road. The
Marshall, Paris and n JTthwestern
has eighteen miles of track aud runs
through foe pine country, passing some
ten saw mills. Mr.. Lloyd says the com
psny is DESTROYS of building the road to
Fort Worth. Mr.. G. W. Gillespie Of this
city, who has been over the rosd, and
who met M. Lloyd in Marshall, says the
road is doing 8 good business. Just
what route the road would follow in
coming TO Fort Worth has not been de-
Iermined.
The stranger who gets Off at the Union
depot these dsys is deeply impressed by
the fsct that Fort Worth ia indeed the
uurivslled railroad center Ct the south
Sest. Running north from the Union
depot, are tracks Of four great trunk
lines, the Missouri Pacific, the Santa Fe,
the Fort Worth and Denver ard the
Houston and Texas Central; running
south are the tracks Of three trunk lines,
running east is the Texas and
Pacific, AMI west the Fort Worth
aud Rio Grande and the Texas
and Pacific, also trunk line, and
on these tracks twenty-five passenger
trains arrive and depart daily. By jan
usry l the ST. Louis, Arkansas and Texas
Will add four trains to the list, and the
Fort Worth and Denver will add two
trains, doubling its passenger service. At
present the Missouri Pacific heads the
list with six trains in and out daily.
